From the remote areas of the Lofoten islands in Northern Norway

I think it is an wxcellent shot. I can see it hanging on my wall.

Bjorn,
That's a beautiful image that tells a great story. The fact that there is a light there really adds to the setting of a pump, which I assume is self service. Please tell me that there is NO building behind you.

Phantastic graphics edit colors and details. A breeze. Wonderful.

+1!
-
My kind of shot! really great
-
The lights are even on :)
Are we going to Lofoten or what, scavengers?
-
Desolation and remoteness personified, great light too!
Simple yet striking image, well seen and photographed.
I do notice noise in the sky, it's not too distracting but I'm surprised considering the relatively low iso chosen.

You should not be surprised, Tony. A tell-tale sign of low contrast (areas within the frame) which in turn exacerbates noise later in the work flow. This happens with *any* digital camera and is inherent to the digital technology.

Sorry Bjorn, I'm not convinced in this case :)
I have thousands of examples of low contrast images containing skies where I don't see this level of noise, perhaps my work flow methodology is different.
Please don't think I'm being difficult, that's not the case!
I'm wondering if the image shown is a large crop, has had exposure lifted or sharpening applied to the entire image, I say these things because I'm learning still, obviously.
I will add, it doesn't ruin the image for me it's just something I noticed.

First, I love the image.
Second, I too would like to know the explanation of Bjorn R's statement.
-
Very cool image :) . If you blink and miss it , how far to the next station. Reminds me of the signs in the west of the US saying 85 miles to the next station ;)

We have to ask the photographer. But having processed my share of low-contrast images, I stick to my assumption.
Try make a shot of a bland almost perfectly white wall. The histogram will show nothing but a narrow spike in the middle. Then, increase contrast by using a Curve tool or similar. You'll get a terrible noise even at your camera's native ISO setting. Just try it.

Thanks for all the comments!
I have increased contrast quite a bit, it was too dull originally.

Appreciate your clarification Bjorn.

Wonderful image interesting contrast of the pristine silver appliance vs the rusted lamp post

I sometimes battle with the sky - for some reason - sometimes - my skies just do not process well, and a slight adjustment does show a greater effect than I would expect, especially if I was using low ISO. I always thought its just my bad processing, but what Bjørn says makes sense - hate to admit a man might just be right.....

Indeed we should! I'm longing for a fun workshop already!
The shot looks like a film scan, not that that is bad at all :)
Fantastic location!

Great shot!
I wonder what the payment options are there?
